Being cautious can prevent a disaster!

Liu Ruyan was naturally smart, she got the gist of everything.

'That zombie nucleus seems special, maybe I can use it too.'

Liu Ruyan hesitantly opened her mouth.

"I have a piece of food with me, can you give me one zombie nucleus in exchange for it."

She spoke cautiously.

Hearing her sudden words everyone was shocked...you know the value of food is much more than zombie crystals, sure the former can make you strong but it can't permanently replace normal food. 

The entire team was full of delight.

 "Oh, okay….but first show what sort of food item you have?"

 Sabrina, being the leader of the team, was the first to reply.

Hearing an affirmative response, Liu Ruyan put her hands inside her robes, and from an inner pocket, she took out a big piece of bread.

This was probably the last ration left with her.

Seeing such a big loaf of bread, everyone's eyes widened. They expected Liu Ruyan to take out some packaged or canned food which probably would have long expired, but the fragrance of bread, even from afar, was too fresh.

All the team members looked at each other with cunning eyes.

 "Sister, where did you find this piece of bread?"

 "Aren't such things only available in those big-elite shelters?"

 Leona spoke enthusiastically.

 Liu Ruyan knew she must downplay the situation, otherwise she may suffer, she replied almost instantly.

 "Dear Senior Sister, a day ago, on the outskirts of the city, I met a kind-hearted boy, seeing me so skinny and on the verge of death, he took pity and threw two pieces of bread towards me. After that, he disappeared saying he had things to do."

 "I was too hungry that time, as a result, I instantly ate one piece, and now only this piece of bread is left."

Liu Ruyan replied like an obedient child.

 "Oh, you got this from begging and here I thought you found some old warehouse that can process bread". Mark spoke in a dejected tone.

 "It's okay, it's been a while since we tasted such a high-quality product, I agree to exchange one piece of Zombie Nucleus for this bread."

-Sabrina's words were full of momentum

 'What a fool, fresh food products like this can be exchanged for at least 20 first-grade zombie nuclei at various shelters. Moreover, people like us can easily obtain such nuclei every day. The only reason we consume them so meagrely is because we lack the food to provide sufficient internal energy to the body to digest these zombie nuclei.'

-Sabrina along with others secretly sneered.

All of them thought they made a bloody profit.

Alice hurriedly exchanged the nucleus for bread fearing Liu Ruyan might repent later.

 "I still remind you to cut this zombie nucleus into various small parts and eat it slowly over time, otherwise your body might end up exploding due to excess external energy intake."

 "If you can find anything similar, you can come to us, we will be near the forest adjacent to the city ."

Sabrina spoke the last few words of goodwill before departing.

Liu Ruyan also politely thanked the other party and ran away.

After running a few meters and making sure, she was not followed, Liu Ruyan hid in an abandoned building.

 "The first trip was very fruitful. I think I should now go back and make sufficient preparations before coming back." 

Liu Ruyan thought about her gains before communicating with the single Lotus Petal suspended in her consciousness.

After a few seconds, her body disappeared.

Just when she disappeared, loud voices could be heard from outside.

 "Are you sure she is staying in this old building?"

Sabrina asked Luther.

 "Yes, leader! I clearly saw her entering here a few minutes ago", Luther replied obediently.

 "Okay go in and take out all her supplies, after assessing our gains we will decide how to deal with Liu Ruyan!"

Sabrina spoke leisurely.

 "Leader, you are too smart, I was wondering why you didn't order us to rob and interrogate her on the spot! I don't believe this stinky Liu Ruyan only has one piece of bread! She must have hoarded a lot of similar stuff from God knows where!"

Leona laughed out aloud.

 "Yeah, our leader is the wisest! After getting her supplies let's kill this girl, I always have a strong intuition that this Liu Ruyan is not that simple!"

Mark replied as if he already knew everything.

But today, they were destined to return empty-handed.

Soon Alice and Luther hurriedly ran back.

Both of their faces were ugly.

 "Sister Sabrina there is no one inside, there is nothing!"

Alice spoke timidly.

Hearing her words, Sabrina's eyes became deep.

.....

On the other side, Liu Ruyan after returning to her cave took a deep breath.

 "If I am not wrong, those people thinking of me some naive girl must have already ransacked the place from where I teleported."

 Although Sabrina and her entire team talked to her in a tone full of sincerity and politeness, Liu Ruyan never let her guard down.

This was the biggest catch! How can someone be good to others without a reason?

Especially when you are living in a post-apocalyptic world where all supplies are scarce.

If the other party is talking so humbly to you then either you must have a valuable thing or something even more special, otherwise, there is no need for such sweet talk.

 "It's a pity that the original body learned neither any martial art skills nor a cultivation technique."

 "Heck! Original Liu Ruyan was not even an official outer sect disciple, she was just a handyman disciple that could only do some daily chores."

 "If I remember clearly, all people who join the sect have a chance to choose a free cultivation technique and a set of martial arts!"

 "Let's go to the warehouse and use this privilege!"

 "After all, if even after coming to the cultivation world one doesn't try to pursue immortality, it will be a shame on the name of a tranmigrator."

After sorting her thoughts, Liu Ruyan left for the sect's warehouse.
